Look on the bright side, the mosquito is still alive to know
A young zika Mosquito went out flying for the first time in its life. The father asked, "How does it feel?;" The mosquito replied; "It was Great! Everyone was clapping for me. The father then replied, "They weren't clapping for you, you idiot, they wanted to kill you. the more they clapped, the greater the chance you had to die.
Lesson:
In life, not all the people who celebrate you are well-wishers
I'm a semi-bernd. I'm not really a keinbernd, but I have managed to get laid before and I haven't given up on life. My last phase of being on dating apps was not very succesful. I managed to get one date per week for a couple of months, but they didn't lead anywhere and then my matches dried up again. Since there aren't any good alternatives atm to get laid or gf, I will go back to dating apps. But I want to prepare the best way I can and if there is interest I will keep you updated. If not I'll stop posting about it. Anyway, so here is phase 1):
- Getting good photos -
There are a bunch of photos I have used on dating apps and I noticed vastly different success rates depending on which pictures I used. (Text descriptions were also different but I'm not sure how much they mattered.) For example a picture shot by a professional photographer seemingly doubled my matched, a picture with a cute dog quadrupled my matches.
Photos are the single most important factor for getting matches and the first important step. There are a bunch of guidelines on how to take good pictures and even empirical data about what kind of pictures lead to matches (I will elaborate in an upcoming post). But for now I want to recommend photofeeler.com as a way to test the attractiveness of the pictures you already have. I will test all pictures I have and take new ones and test them, until I have 3-4 pictures that are rated above average in attractiveness.
In the next step I will research which kind of picture is best for online dating, how to take such pictures and maybe go a bit into editing photos. (By that I mean cropping, adjusting lighting etc, not changing the face or things like that.)
Any thoughts so far?

Pictures never portray you 100% realistically, anyway. And if you have 3-4 different pictures, I think someone will still get a somewhat realistic view of what you look like without catfishing.
I'm also trying to improove the way I look irl, though. I have started doing a skincare routine, which also just makes me feel nicer. And having a fresh haircut and trimmed beard vastly improoves my looks.
So you really want to be reduced to your looks and be chosen only by them?
This alone is a reason why I never even downloaded a single dating app.
I'm not a product in a supermarket that people choose based on its package and price tag, and I also don't want to find my love that way.
I can not imagine that long lasting and happy relationships are born on these apps, at least not many.
Nah, but looks are always the first step and being attractive has benefits outside the dating world, too. With photofeeler and skills around taking and editing pictures, I will be able to make more professional pictures of myself for business purposes and find ways to improve my looks irl. Attractive people get more promotions, earn more, etc.
I also want to improve my personality, but that will be a more difficult project. And in the world of online dating, looks come first and then personality, which is what texting and dates are for.
However, I agree that dating apps are inefficient and overall not a very good investment of time. But in the present situation I don't see any other way to make meaningful connections with women. And in the past I have managed to get a very nice fwb for a while and got a friend from using tinder.
Once the opportunity for more real life interactions arises, I will go there, too.
So, is this shithole still a circlejerk of 4 people with mod banning everything he doesn't like personally?
I've left the place time ago, how things are going here?

I want my surname as a domain. Doesn't matter if .de, .eu, .com or .net
But they are all taken.
Two forward to another domain.
One is a IT company with a self signed ssl certificate.
And the last just doesn't load anything.
How likely do you think is it that one of the domains will just run out at some point?
Is there any way to be notified when that happens?
How expensive do you think it would be to buy it from them?

I once had a .gg domain for some gaming server who I made a website for and some americans wanted to buy it from me, I asked for 50 dollars but they didn't want to pay.
Make a whois look up
https://whois.domaintools.com/
However it doesn't seem to be too reliable, it shows krautchan.net as expired and available since ~2 weeks but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Yes I am using a domain like that for now but it really annoys me.
I also have my surname as a .gg domain but I had problems when sending mails from that domain. They .gg TLD doesn't seem to be that trusted.
Also people will find it strange if you tell them you mail address is [email protected]
>I had problems when sending mails from that domain. They .gg TLD doesn't seem to be that trusted.
Understandable. I don't really trust unusual TLDs, either and these new xyz TLDs and so on still seem weird to me. I'm not even that old...
>Also people will find it strange if you tell them you mail address is [email protected]
Is that boomers who think you can only have aol and gmail accounts?
How do we kill it???

At work I was thinking how much I need a mommy gf to cuddle, and suffocate in her breasts. After the lulling day dream, I pondered which country would be better to find a voluptuous mommy gf to go on trips with and generally be at ease from the sufferings of life. So I rounded it down to the Ukraine and Georgia, unless someone can interject and provide some better information on the procurement of a mommy gf.
